Governor Fowle's message was read in the Legislature to-day. It is of great length and covers two years, the principal features of which being as follows: The State debt is only 5, 539,000 $2,720,000 of which are in 6 per eent. bonds, the remainder in 4 per cent. On sixes the Stale has no interest to pay, as it is paid for by the lease' of a North Carolina rail war. in whijn the Commonwealth holds $3,000,000 of stock, so the debt is practically only 3,2 IS, 000. There are fiftynine railways, with 3, loo miles, worth $14, 000, 000. A iil way commission is recommended. Protection of oys ers is given special consideration. It is recom mended that a yearlv tax based upon tonnage be required oh each vessel taking oysters. Oysters to be culled only on rocks or beds, and that not ver ten per cetit or over two inches long be takeu from each bed; that there bean efficient oyster police, and inspectors at each oyster centre; that owners of canneries m business in the State be given same rights as other persons; that no oysters be taken from May lat to October ist, that all vessels violating the law be pursued and captured. Twenty five thousand dollars is asked for dis play of North Carolina's resources at Chicigo's exposition. Taxable pro perty in this State is valued at $227 -000,000, in increase of $10, 000,000 in two years. There is urgent necessitv for equalization of taxation, and coun ty and State boards are necessary to secure this law in regard to public schools, It needs such amendments as to require county commissioners to set apart amounts necessary for schools before making other appropriations. University buildings are old and to a great degree unserviceable, and gen erous aid should be given, after a spe cial committee has mtide inspection. Training schools for white teachers particularly for females, are asked for as absolutely necessary. The law regarding fertilizers should be so amended as to impose & tax of 25 cts. per ton. Appropriations to complete buildings and equipment of agricultur al and mechanical co' leges is necess ary, also one for a college of the same kind for negroes. The condition of the penitentiary is very satisfactory, that institution being self supporting, but in case there is a falling off of the demand for convicts on railway work, factories for tobacco or jute bagging should be established in orison rcon- victsputon farms.

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE The Raieigh Chronicle gives the following sketch of Mr. R. A. Dough ton, eiected Speaker of the N. C.

Over half of these are of residents of the First Congressional District. She has a great many signatures of the leading men of Raleigh. Charlotte. Ashe vi lie, Winston, Wilson, etc., and will seek to obtain tkoe of the Legislature. She is certainly a devoted wife and no doubt her efTorts to secure a pardon will meet with success.

The Potion l probably be presen- ted to the Governor in the next thirty days. Some one has said that every time the Lord makes a women he changes the pattern.
